Sisältö

In this course we study how to build a self-driving car simulation using JavaScript. We build every component ourselves, without using any external libraries so that we really understand how a system like this works. We learn how to implement the car driving mechanics, how to define the environment, how to simulate sensors, how to detect collisions and how to make the car control itself using a neural network. We briefly study how biological neural networks work and see how to implement artificial neural networks using code. We also study a basic optimization algorithm for improving the neural network. The entire system is complex, however, each component is relatively easy in and of itself requiring only a good understanding of high-school mathematics/physics and some programming experience (not necessarily JavaScript).
